M. ; u nalt, the great Naturalist, the first indeed in ▪ er °Pe, ,exerted his eloquence to prove that Authors should be tried like criminals, and that the y were unworthy of having a July. M. ROYER ( R .2OLLA RD, one of th e soun d es t constitutionii Statesmen in France; as well .as one of the rnos' .el oq ue nt members of the Senate; rose and refuted ;verY argument of M. CUYIER will such irre. ragahle arguments, that he reduced every enemy 9 1 . the Jury to silence; and it was, we undeislands ' ziett l e d in Connell that the Press should be free, an4 .tilat a Jury Should be always impamielled to tr y eases of libel ; we bond this s great victory for e'nstitutional liberty, and it is delightful to owe it to such a ms , as Al.

Vri:;Sl MI NSTErt ELUCTION. A Meeting of fl,anonst's Friends was held yesterday evening at the Crown and Aochor Some Resolutions Were moved by one of the Ev/ones, in ;Odell, after 'tittering a great deal about mitgoverninent., .he 'vetY coolly and bare 7 facerily reversed the real eircuthstances attending the late Election in Westminster, stating in fact, that the bribery, corruption, perjury, and vio lence, so notoriously resorted to by the satellites of RORDETT, were practised only by those Whom he termed the enemies of freedom ; he concluded by recommending to their attention, Mr. HOB HOUSE, es P prodigy of Reform, and an able coad jutor of their leading Vat' BURDITT. Mr. 4011- HOUSE made a very long and inflammatory speech, in which he dilated on the miseries of the people, and appealed to' his audience whether they would suffer themselsies to be trampled upon by halt a dozen despicahlenitd ruthless adventniers (mean ' big the Ministry who have upset hisTriend Biro: NAPARTE) or assert their own rights. HQ:talked very pathetically of the unrepresented part of the community (distinctly avowing his ideas ofUtilrer sat Ile alluded to Hu NT, and evidently wished to conciliate him. He said the Crown end the Nobles were every thing, the People no thin;. He abused the cause of Sir MURRAY MAXWELL, and told his hearers that, its company with Mr. Mob KIaNAIRD and BRUCE, he went to condole with Sir MURRAY on the personal in jury he bad sustained, but forgot to mention that the aforesaid Gentlemen, and others of their tribe, had excited that brutal outrage, by the tenor of their harangues to the rabble who were. in their pay around the Hustings. He launched forth in praise of 'his protector and pa trots BURDETT, and spoke of the Patriots who (previous to himself) had enlightened the Na tives, and sounded Reform, in that same within those very walls ;—but, undutiful man! be omitted his father in the enumeration.—About this time, an awkward Hibernian, in' allusion to the shuffling conduct of BURDETT with respect to the Corn Bill, asked, in a very broad accent, a most unlucky question ; namely, ." Whether Mr. HOEHOUSE meant to support any measure which had a tendency to raise the price of Coro i" This question excited loud cheering and laughter,and an answer being again demanded, Mr. Hotsmouss, after two efforts to explain, at last said, be could not judge of any measure moil it came before him, but be wowld take care that no Government niractor should .raise the price of Corn.—The room was about half full, and, considering all circumstances, tolerably orderly, except (ram the inflammatory speeches, ottly two or three drunken persons being observed.

On Titnrsday night, at 9 o'clock, their Royal Highneises the Princess AUGUSTA and tire Du chess of ULOUCKSTER arrived at their apartments in Windsor Castle, from Kew. The rong absence of their Royal Highnesses from Windsor was sensibly felt by the inhabitants, to whom their benevolence and condescension were ever ex• tended ; and their return is an occasion of sincere joy, which is only diminished by the melancholy circ-►mstances by which it is accompanied.

SVDDEN DEATH..--About 7 o'clock on Sunday eveuitig, a poor old woman, who resided in Fox• court, Gray's-ion-lane, and who was vartli known for many y e ars as a v en d or o f f ru i t i n that neighbourhood, was, whilst sitting at her apple stall at the corner of Gray's Inn-lane, taken with, a fit, dud expired qn the wt. MU; CLIE.IOSI I'l The curiosities -and natural productions col lected by Captain JOHN Ross, in hiS recent Voyage of Discovery round .11•-i ,n's Bay, were yesterday brought to the Admiralty Office. They consist of various botanical • and mineralogical specimens, with a large meteoric stone, and-some sea. water, taken up at various depths• There is also the skin of an amazing huge white hear, kill ed on the ice, and which weighed between 10 and 111)0 cwt. The most remarkable is the sledge Used by the natives, which is of the most simple 'form, and so slight, that it appears sOuost impos sible to bear the Weight of a human being-. It consists of two pieces of hone between five and six feet long, abtstht three inches from the ground, : which are keio togethe'r by fie - other pieces, about 18 or 20 inches in length,. and placed at intervals of nine or ten inches. At 'the end are .two 'upright pieces, about two feet logh ; at the top of each is' fastened a piece of "seal or sea-ele phant's skin, producing -rather a curve, which tornis the seat for the person, without any other support: The whole of this curious carriage, which is entirely of hone; N .- bound together with pieces ,of skin and •whalehone, and is so extr,ensely light as to atlailt of its being conveyed front - place - to phice with the greatest facility. To the fore part six dogs are •atlixed, fastened together, two and two, with a specks of harness made,of slips of skin, who draw it with much rapidity. .The whip for managing these useful animals is about three yards in length, made of skin, and which the na tives are represented as using with a's much dex terity as any of the Members of the London Whip Club. The handle is about the-length . of those used by post itions, consistingt)f*sik pieces of bone, one placed transversely at- the handle, to prevent its slipping, fastened together by skins and the sinews of birds. Captain Ross has also brought four dogs and two hitches,having. their heads and tails of the tox speciex. They possess much strength, and will bear, whenlying down, the weight of a man on the shoulder, w4hont experiencing the smallest imonvenience. The hair is very thick, and their skins appear impervious.. They are remarkably docile and good-natured, and tint at all shy front mixing in a society so different front that in their own regions. A dog and bitch have been sent to her Royal Highness the Duchess of ITS es , and a dog and a bitch with pup, to Sir JOSEPH HANKS. There are also several stuffed birds, the plumage of which is very remarkable, together with some-very curious star fish, and the appargitus by which the natives catch the seals and sea elephants. The whole of the curiosities have been very properly sent to the British Museum, where, as soon as they are ar ranged, they will be submitted to the inspection of the public. THE RECOVERED CHILD. We feel indescribable nlessure in announcing that ibis child, in, w fuse fate the public have felt so much interest, is nom enjoying the endear• merits of his mother. Mr. lloasLeY arrived inn Sunday night about 9 o'clock, from his fatiguing, pursuit, accompanied by the little boy, who, we are glad to hear, is rat, ruddy, and in perfect - krvirb--,liappOintt cheerful. Mr. Horsley, lett Cuxhaven on Sunday, the 2.9111 ult. in the Earl pf Leicester packet, Captain • Hammond, which did not reach Ore English toast till Saturday evening, when Mr. Horsley end his child, and Captain Hammond, landed at Cromer, in Norfolk, about 23 miles from Nur wich, and 129 from London. Captain Hammond took horse and posted forward ; but Mr. Horsley, on account of the child, was obliged to bite a cart, in which he was five hours travelling to Norwich. Captain Hammond had thus got so far before Mr. Horsley; that he reached town oil Sunday as early as tom o'clock, anti instantly On his arrival at the Post-Office, Mr. Fretling, with the saute considerate regard which he hiis ail along shown to the anxious feeling; of a bereav ed mother, dispatched a messenger to Mrs. Hors ley with the joyful tidings of her husband and son's being again on English ground. The villain Renneit is said tohave'confessed that his design in taking the child to America, was, by writing thence to its parents, informing them of his having it in his possession, to extort from them, if possible, a large slim of money for its rannim. The necessary proceedings for transmitting the unfeeling thiet to England were not terminated when Mr. Horsley set off from Bremen on his re turn home. Certain forms Of law, and even a regular communication from our Government, were requisite; but these were 'in regular train, and it will not be many days before the unfeeling robber will be handed over to justice, and tried by the laws of his country. LETTER. FROM MR. HORSLEY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—lt is with much diffidence that L obtrude . myself on your notice, but I should ill, discharge the duty I owe to the Public, as well as to my own feelings, if I did not attempt to express my acknowledgments for the extraordinary degree of sympathy which has been so strongly manifested on account of the Child lately lost to its Parents, and now most provi dentially restored. The deep sensation which this uncom mon occurrence has excited, will admit of no reqnital--;till less by any language I can use. But the Public, who have so generously sympathized in the affliction of its Parents, will also appreciate their very grateful feelings. and do them tho justice to believe, that although I cannot adequately express them, they are, nevertheleis, .most ardent and respectful, Mid, they trust, not unworthy their situation on such art occasion. • I am, Sir, . .
